WHO AM I //
Hey there and thanks for stopping by my blog to check things out! Here's a little about who I am. I'm a wedding photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona, along with my hunky husband, Derrick, and our adorable and funny little one year old daughter, Maya Claire.
THINGS I LOVE //
I adore in no particular order: coffee in the morning, comfy clothes and flip flops, drawing on napkins, camping in the woods, late night games with friends, movies in the afternoon, wandering aimlessly in the aisles of Target, finding a book that I can hardly put down, spending time with my family, painting and writing in my journals, girls nights out with cheese plates and laughing and meeting people that I can let my hair down with and build relationships.
HOW I GOT STARTED //
When I get behind the camera, it is my goal to capture relationship and emotion. To find the honest moments in between the scripted ones that show life as it really is. I find these to be the most beautiful.
The way I look through the lens started early. I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, which led me to college where I pursued fine art. My years there were in a search to match my creative desire with a career and thus my exploration began as I studied graphic design and fine arts. I soaked in composition, light, balance and I dug into color. Creating and growing along the way.
This journey made its way into the year of 2005 when my Dad bought me an old film camera. I loved holding that camera in my hands and would get so excited to get each roll developed. In 2006, my husband bought me my first digital camera and it wasn't long before I was wanting to do more. Within the year, I upgraded into a more professional model and made the decision to pursue photography as a career and I've never looked back.
Thanks for taking time and peeking into my blog!
